Thrusmaster F1 Wheel is going to get a make over

[Devil_Dog]

Fedex just dropped this off this morning.

I will start modding it to add what is missing. A shift light indicator, working rotary switches & encoders and adding clutch paddles as well.

Here's the SLI:

Here's the rotary switches and hall effect sensors. Only 2 of the switches will be used. The others are for another F1 wheel I'm working on. (I'll update that thread when I get the rest of what I'm waiting for.) I'm waiting on the rotary encoders which should be here Monday.

Ah very good to know, thanks,
before you close everything up (when finiished i mean) , please post a photo of the inside with the PCB and rotaries and the sli-pro if you don't mind Mike.

can't wait to see the finished result.
I'll be using your thread as a guide. thanks for sharing.

As I have been slowly waiting for things to come in I have started to strip it down and start to perform surgery. Here's a glimpse.

I'm also replacing the buttons with some of a higher quality. Not my pic (Credit to Leo for the pic.) but these are the switches that I'll be using.

Should be good!

That's what I'm hoping!!!

When do you reckon you'll have it all finished by?

 

[Devil_Dog]

I should have it done this week. I've been swamped with a couple other projects and web development on top of that.

Here's a teaser pic.

Just have to do the wiring and get my labels done for the rotaries. I'm screwed until the weekend so I'm hoping I can get the wiring done and back together over the weekend.

Thanks Brian. Yes, they did work out. It's a tight fit for the SLI but after a little surgery it's in there.

So far I'm happy. I still have some work left but the main portion is done.
